A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
答案与题解:
1.B 本题给出的信息是错误的。第二段说到,救生平台既可垂直升降,也可侧向移动。
2.A 本题给出的信息是正确的。根据是第二段第二句:Metreveli’s design, called the Eagle, calls for two jet engines that turn four large horizontal propellers.句中的horizontal propellers指水平方向旋转的螺旋推进器。
3.C 文章没有提到救生平台移动的速度。
4.B 从上下文看,本段介绍直升机在营救高楼受困人员时有不足之处,即救生篮晃动,不稳定。虽然本段没有明说,读者能体会到,the Eagle就没有这个缺点。所以,本题说helicopter就是the Eagle,传达的信息是错误的。
5.C 文章没有提供“救生平台动力越大,载人越多”这一信息,只是在第二段倒数第二句说:The more power is supplied to the propellers, the higher the platform rises.
6.B “9·11”事件之后,Metreveli拿到的是建造a larger, 4-meter by 4-meter prototype的经费,而不是建造a small-scale model of the Eagle的经费。
